C&D Haunted Bookshop in a short, light Teipen bent bulldog.
@silvermouse I was just reading about Haunted Bookshop again yesterday. I’ve never tried it, though I have a tin from 2014 in the cellar. Does it live up to the reviews? I guess I should pick up a tin to try now, then if I like it I can add more to my cellar
I tried several bowls a year or so ago and wasn’t impressed so like any self respecting piper, I thee the rest in a mason jar and it sitting in my cellar, waiting to be tried again.

I've been sampling the trimmings from cigar making so I can get an idea of the blend before I commit to rolling and it helped me narrow things down a little. This is the only pipe I have and it might not be much, but it works! I think I'm really starting to like smoking a pipe...I forgot how relaxing this is.

Finally got around to trying the Bengal Slices I bought last January, very nice!

I may have mentioned this before, but a while back I got some W. O. Larsen Signature, mostly because @Stubble had mentioned it. It's not my usual latakia bomb, but I'm increasingly impressed with it. Had some tonight in my Stanwell gilt edge, I think that's what they called it, (gilded? whatever) and it really satisfies. Aromatic, but not too sweet. Floral, but not perfumey. Good stuff. Hmm...I may be drunk-posting. Well, then... That is all!

@Stubble, how is it? I ordered several tins when you did, but they’re in the states and I’m still in Turkey. I have been looking to trying it this weekend when I come back for Thanksgiving dinner with my family.
i will try to post pictures in “What did you get” of all that I have ordered in the past 9 months. I send it all to my mother’s house and she says that she has no more room for anything 🤓

My ounce of Russ Candy Corn is almost depleted. Smoked really great in the beech wood pipe. Gonna have to pick up some more of this bulk blend at pipes&cigars.

Comoy’s Cask #7 in an Aldo Velani. This is my first bowl of Cask #7 and I’m loving it. It has a defined peppery note unlike the other spun “coin” (medallion) tobaccos. I will be putting away a pound for a long nap. would suggest this tobacco to any lover of strong, spicy cigars
I picked up two of these pipes last year on eBay for $35 (for both) to smoke on windy days in Istanbul. They have turned out to be great smoking pipes...much better that I expected.

not in my pipe but sounds interesting: "Warped's Cloud Hopper & Kings Stride Earlier this year, Warped Cigars expanded into the world of pipe tobacco with the limited production run of The Haunting. Kyle Gellis, founder of Warped, and Jeremy Reeves, head blender of Cornell & Diehl, collaborate again to present two new, regular production pipe tobacco blends from Warped: Kings Stride and Cloud Hopper. The former takes its name from one of Kyle's luxury cabernet sauvignons and is a crumble cake featuring a unique cigar leaf Cavendish; the latter is a Virginia/Perique flake with Dominican cigar leaf inspired by Warped's popular Cloud Hopper cigars."
Gawith Hogarth Rum Flake in a bent Dublin. I’m really impressed with this tobacco...smooth and rich flavors and a stout kick. This is definitely an after a hearty dinner tobacco.
